>She didn't have to "settle," she was born there and left.
Because she understood instinctively that she didn't belong there and could never be comfortable living amongst them.
>Blonde genes are recessive, so either you think Marisa is ~80% fairy, or she has two blonde human parents or changed her appearance thru magic.
That's not how recessive genes work. And while I do believe that most of the Human Village has a little fairy in them, the important part is that significant non-human ancestry dominates true human genetics, which is why most of the villagers have proper black hair except for the freakshows who clearly aren't pure human stock.
>Her ability is proof of her talent. Talent is innate, and can be genetic.
The talent part is about her ability to develop and progress her magical abilities, which for her is lacking compared to the superior magicians who are comfortable practicing their arts in the human village. Marisa can only progress through extreme study and great difficulty, so despite an innate ability to use some magic, she does not truly make for a good magician.
>Yet she does not act sedated. This means she is more likely just an adrenaline junky.
Like all fairies, who always jump into incidents with great excitement to have fun.
And don't make me pull out the fairy on fairy crime violence statistics.
>Most fairies she meets get shot without a second thought. It's more likely that the times she hanged out with four clearly abnormal fairies is the exception.
Again, that's just how incidents are. Cirno is notorious for shooting down her fellow fairies, too.
>What is magic even for?
In Marisa's case, pure offense. She's not like Byakuren or the Taoists, who have bolstered their bodies through magical means.
>Marisa engages exclusively in thievery, the fairies do a lot more. From this, we can deduce that Marisa has a different reason for engaging in theft than the fairies.
She's only half-fairy, after all. She's still part human, as well, so she's not going to do everything fairies do.
>Then I guess we found Sakuya's secret origin as well.
Yes, Sakuya is descended from secret genetic engineering projects Eirin performed on the moon that included her own genome in an attempt to create a new, perfected Lunar race. She's not fully human either.
